Physical Computing with micro:bits and Makecode

User Generated Education

I am quite fond of facilitating physical computing activities with my learners as I’ve discussed in Scratch and Makey Makey Across the Curriculum . For that post I created the following graphic to represent the benefits of physical computing. micro:bit Activities.

How to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and Everything

Stephen Wolfram

And in our century there’s a new and yet more powerful one: computation. And for nearly 50 years I’ve had the great privilege of building an ever taller tower of science and technology based on that idea of computation. And I ended that talk with a question: is computation ultimately what’s underneath everything in our universe?

Students’ Physical and Mental Health Declined During the Pandemic. Could a New Telehealth Initiative Help?

ED Surge

Faced with these daunting realities, it’s understandable that school and district leaders might put deep investment in students’ physical and mental health on the back burner. Children’s Health Is Crucial to Closing the Achievement Gap Student wellbeing—including physical and mental health—is deeply intertwined with learning outcomes.

Wolfram|Alpha as the Way to Bring Computational Knowledge Superpowers to ChatGPT

Stephen Wolfram

It happened with our Physics Project in 2020. But while ChatGPT is a remarkable achievement in automating the doing of major human-like things, not everything that’s useful to do is quite so “human like”. ChatGPT and Wolfram|Alpha. It’s always amazing when things suddenly “just work”. It happened to us with Wolfram|Alpha back in 2009.

Advanced micro:bit Projects: Artificial Intelligence and the MakeCode Data Logger Spoon Race

User Generated Education

I love bringing physical computing into my classrooms: Physical computing refers to the use of tangible, embedded microcontroller-based interactive systems that can sense the world around them and/or control outputs such as lights, displays and motors. Sketch angles of specified measure.

Could computer programs match the abilities of our brains?

Futurum

Could computer programs match the abilities of our brains? Recreating its behaviour using computer programs is no easy task, but it can be done – by using artificial intelligence hardware that mimics the deeply complex networks of neuron cells in our brains.
